This is an appealing mindset to me - the ultimate in positive thinking.
At the same time it scares me, because there is this little voice inside me that wonders what you think if you fail anyway...
Makes me sound like a very pessimistic person...
I am going to try to adopt this attitude, though. I will never achieve the things I want if I fear failing. How is being fearless when it comes to making my dreams come true a bad thing?
And in re: this post, I think we can act as if we won't fail, with confidence, because failure is so subjective. I took a huge risk in quitting my job, selling everything and moving to Paris, but let's say I go broke, go back to the US and find the job or get the consulting contract of a lifetime. Was my risk a failure then? It depends on who is looking...and judging.
